American Thinker has much to say about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez



Who was behind Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s astonishing makeover?
. . . "Someone with deep knowledge of what expensive make-up can do to remake a human visage into something very different from the au naturel version went to work on her.  In tandem with her transformation from nerd to a female Che Guevara, she morphed from capitalist to membership in a party that wants to “abolish profit.' ” . . .

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Economist (no, really!)  "In 2011, Ocasio-Cortez earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Boston University.  This means that she learned about the efficiency of a free market, the damage that too much government spending can cause, and the work disincentive of taxation.  With a background like this, one would think she would be eminently qualified to help steer the federal government to a laissez-faire handling of private industry.  Some examples of elected officials trained in economics come to mind.

Donald Trump received an economics B.S. from Wharton.  As president, he saw too much regulation and excessive taxes.  He lowered both and observed a substantially lower unemployment rate." . . .

 Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's socialist fanaticism come from bitter failure in business?   . . . "It would have to have been a disappointment to fail in such a much-touted bright-star business. No wonder she was complaining about taxes. She probably ran head-first into regulations, monopoly practices from established publishing houses and other obstacles all businesses endure, too. And this being New York, possibly some mob shakedowns.
Even Ocasio-Cortez's tweets, done years ago, in 2011, suggest disappointment in business. A O-C's tweets, cited by the Daily Caller, are these:
